A cheap option, try nitrogen in your tires it makes everything feel a little bit softer. 35psi all around.

Even stock, the GE8 does feel pretty stiff. The chassis overall is pretty stiff. It's a good thing and a bad thing. You can feel every bump on the road, which is bad. But a stiff chassis is good while cornering.

Ill give that a try. I might also go with softer tire or a bit more sidewall. If i get more track time this year ill take it out on the stock wheels and see how it feels.

It is good and bad. Car feel great but when I hit the smallest hole or ridge in the street i want to get out and see if i cracked a wheel. And im coming from a stock stiff car. 03' evo 8. Had that on coilovers for 3 years. That was stiff as hell. But never to the point where i thought something broke from chicago crappy streets.

My rears all maxed all the way down. I'm going to find a way to go lower in the Spring(it's almost snow season here in Indiana). Not completely sure on the spring rates, I have my bumps all the way stiff and it's stiff. Yes, 15's.

Is it hard driving in the Philippines with a lowered car? I have yet to drive in the Philippines. I haven't been back there since I was 4...

Let's see more dropped GE8s!

I can't find any info on the Tein High Tech...I like that drop (not very low)
Anyone have any links to dealers for this spring?

or Swift?

I'm debating between those two (if I can find a dang dealer) or Progress.

Any input is appreciated.
